Abstract

Although there are many examples of computer applications in molecular science from data collection to modelling, we will only mention in detail those which relate to sequences. Even these applications would amount to several chapters because scientists have become more interested in further analysis of sequence data than before. Also new applications are being developed very rapidly.
